Francis Marion defeats GSW,
73-52

Georgia Southwestern shot a season-low 29 percent as the
Hurricanes lost on the road at Francis Marion, 73-52, on Saturday.

The Hurricanes were out-rebounded 46-19, and they allowed the
Patriots to shoot 56 percent for the game and 60 percent in the
second half. Francis Marion held a 42-14 edge in points in the
paint and 17-5 in second chance points.

"It was just a tough day for us," said coach Mike Leeder. "We
didn't play very well, and we didn't play very hard. We'll have to
pick up a road win somewhere to get in the tournament."

GSW trailed 40-27 at intermission and cut the lead to nine at
41-32 early in the second half on a Sargent layup. But Francis
Marion scored the next eight points, and the Hurricanes never got
